We believe skiing is for everyone. Designed for those who use a wheelchair or have difficulty coordinating their lower limbs, our Adaptive Sit-Ski Lessons in Courchevel provide specifically-tailored tuition to ensure you can enjoy the thrills of the mountain safely and with confidence. If you are a paraplegic or have had a lower limb amputation then this is the discipline for you.
We hold annual sit-ski training courses for our instructors covering the equipment, skiing technique and adaptive skiing teaching methods. Kind and patient, our instructors know the mountains by heart and have the understanding and experience to teach and accompany you.
You can choose and request what suits you:
Piloted Sit-skiing for wheelchair users who lack coordination. The instructor steers the machine and lets them discover the thrill of skiing.
Independent skiing for wheelchair users or those who have difficulty coordinating their lower limbs. The instructor will teach you how to ski independently, although good coordination of the upper limbs is essential.
Included:
- One instructor per student
- Sit ski equipment (dual ski or uni ski)
Not included, but required:
- Lift pass
- Helmet
Ski level:
- Any level accepted
Afternoon lessons starts at 2pm - Piloted sit-skiing or tandem sit-skiing
* Make a note of your choice on booking confirmation whether you want piloted or tandem sit-skiing
Arrival Instructions / What to Bring:
Meeting point:
Bottom of the Jardin Alpin gondola on the snow front of Courchevel 1850, where big blue Oxygene meeting point sign is.
Bring:
Very warm clothing is highly recommended - although a blanket covers the lower limbs, the body cools down more quickly due to the lack of activity of the person in the chair.
